    check down the sofa or the bottom of your handbag, I'm sure you will find a rogue copper to add, the pot needs feeding, just like a purse it needs a coin :-)

    Lol, I always have a penny in my purse as someone once told me that coins like company, if you've got a penny in your purse it always attracts friends :rotfl:

    DD gave me 10p out of her change from her trip money (bless her, even on a school trip she has to have change from her spending :o) so pot now rattles :D

    £4.76 potted yesterday after emptying my bank account (today's payday). Could have added more but hid £10 in my purse for dire emergencies :o

    Another £2 change potted today. £10 FB sale proceeds also potted.

    Pot is a very healthy weight today :j

    So I put £57.20 in my bank online & £1 in my new moustache money box.
    I do have more change but it's all jumbled in one tin so I'm going to organize
    them in all different tins. Easier for me to keep track!

    Will update later with the full total!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all, hope all are well. A bit dull here this morning, but no complaints as we've had a decent week.
    I DID IT!!! FINALLY OVER THE 1K MARK £1000.11 SAVED!!

    So happy, i never actually thought i'd reach this amount especially before finishing off paying my CC. I have though and i'm so proud of myself!! Roll on the next £100

    Well done, it's nice to get over the mark, especially when you're so near. Still just short of 5 months to go as well.

    Sue - yes, at times, "Life was never meant to be easy". But, it would be nice if life was more "equal". We're all here on this earth together (or should be together), and for a relatively short time. Damn shame it's not more equal!!
    Sorry about my moan!! Wishes though whatever route is taken.
    What we need, what we need is a great big melting pot
    Big enough, big enough, big enough
    To take the world and all it's got

    Potted a £2 coin and 3 x £1 coins. That leave me £20 short of my target and I'll get that next week..................and that's a promise. :p
    (I'll weigh my pot then too)

    Have a great weekend.
